Question 14170 — death and death

Summary

Mr. Éric Ciotti draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the regulations relating to the exhumation and reduction of bodies. According to article R. 2213-40 of the general code of local authorities, any request for exhumation is subject to the agreement of the closest relatives of the deceased. A ruling from the Court of Cassation of June 16, 2011 provides for the body reduction operation to be assimilated to exhumation. This This situation is a source of difficulties, particularly for religious associations and congregations. Indeed, they cannot recover the bones or ashes of members of their congregations who are not related. Also, he asks whether a modification of article R. 2213-40 of the general code of local authorities is envisaged in order to provide that when an association or religious congregation is holder of a funeral concession, she can make a request for exhumation or reduction of the body through her legal representative.
